England+Wales, Scotland and NI have different dates - http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Governmentcitizensandrights/LivingintheUK/DG_073...
Worse than that, different places in Scotland have additional holidays
- the first reference to that I could find was at
I used to live in Aberdeen [in the days when i used to earn a living] and quite honestly the 'local holidays' in Scotland would be difficult to include. Half the bank holidays are national and half are 'local'. Aberdeen say chooses theirs and a dozen miles away Stonehaven chooses theirs. So in Summer you can visit say Stonehaven and find all closed as it's a local holiday - yes... an utter pain.
For the time being I need England only so this would be something to add later, I guess!
yes i'd say England only.
